Evening to all of you, I have just finished replacing all front suspension on my Series 1. Have replaced Legs with new Koni`s 30mm Adjustables and Apex Springs, also fitted new lower arms and poly bushed them. Have also replaced anti roll bar bushes with Poly units also. Have had a new rack fitted and have been to local garage and had 4 new yoks fitted and asked them to 4 wheel align the car. The took my dosh and told me all is now fine. I dont think so, the car drives quite badley. The steering wheel is not centre and it feels a bit strange, does not pull just hard to keep in a streight line when just cruising at about 60 to 70mph. I think the adjustable anti roll bar is to blame. My local garages on the Isle of Wight are not interested in trying to get this set up. The towing of the tracking is correct but if feels harder to steer left than it does to turn right if that makes any sence. Does any body know any one in the south of England that could set up the front end properly? When i looked when i was un doing the lH Lower arm bolt from the anti roll bar I have adjusted it by accident, as the threads are more exposed this side than the other. Sorry to go on but I am going to Interpro next week and Dont want to be driving all over the motorway!!! Thanks for any help in advance!!
Jase.

You might have to take that motorway trip to get the suspension set up mate. You want a proper company that will put some effort into setting it up properly. Danny at Adrenaline is an obvious choice but he is quite some distance from you.
I am pretty positive there will be someone in the southern region that will specialise in motorsport geometry settings. Ask in the General Discussion if anyone knows of any decent suspension geometry companies around the Portsmouth/Southampton area. There will be some users that will know of someone down that way.
